Quan Yutianxia GL

Human beings are very strange creatures, always inventing things that they cannot control, such as nuclear weapons, such as money.

People created nuclear weapons, but were afraid of being contaminated by it.

People create money, but are confused by money.

Regardless of past life or present life, Chuning has always believed that money is a more terrifying invention than nuclear weapons.

Since its birth, it has brought terror.

From ancient times to the present, and even for many years in the future, almost all people will become slaves to money, spend their whole lives in labor, and gradually lose their nature under the temptation and drive of money, until they finally return to dust. All kinds of worries are needed, but there is no relief.

Thinking about it this way, I don't know whether it is ridiculous or sad.

After that 'one word is worth a thousand dollars' math class, the loyal army led by Xiao Hongfei began to undergo qualitative changes.

Xiao Hongfei started to reorganize the whole army on the second day, first eliminated the old and weak to make up for the vacancies, and then divided the [-] soldiers into five divisions, each with two schools under its jurisdiction, and each school with two brigades under its jurisdiction.

Immediately afterwards, five major generals and ten major generals were appointed, and the titles of the previous partial generals, generals, generals, etc. were simplified, and the command system of the army was clarified.

Logically speaking, this kind of change of troops before the army is very dangerous, ranging from instability of the army's morale to a mutiny in the Xiaoying camp, but Xiao Hongfei's methods are extraordinary, and his repeated actions did not cause any backlash, but caused the whole The momentum of the Zhongwu Army has greatly increased.

In the evening of that day, the Zhongwu Army ended another small-scale probing battle with Xianbei. Before Chu Ning had time to walk away from the viewing platform, he was called out by Zhou Yu, whose armor was stained with blood.

Today it was Zhou Yu's turn to fight Xianbei, he just got off the battlefield, and immediately ran to Chuning, complaining: "The Xianbei army is getting more and more stingy, and today they only came here with less than five hundred horses, mother!" Yes, it's not enough to fight... Uh, yes, General Chu, the boys have already divided the horses, do you want to go over and have a look?"

"No need, I can trust General Zhou." Chu Ning held up a smile and said to Feng Jiuqing, "President Feng, just hand over to General Zhou."

Feng Jiuqing and Zhou Yu had already left while talking, but Chu Ning looked at their backs, but felt a little sad in her heart, she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, and she didn't know whether the army was driven by money or not. Will it become the blade of the country, or the sickle of death.

Zhou Yu didn't think as much as Chuning did. After handing over the war horse and Feng Jiuqing, he brought two school generals to carry copper coins to reward the soldiers under his command-this is a new practice of the loyal military army. Fighting against Xianbei, after Ming Jin withdraws troops to eat and drink enough, the school generals and generals will carry copper coins to give out rewards. If any war department goes to battle, but there is no reward that night, they will definitely receive a lot 'Kindness' greeting and care.

When Zhou Yu handed out the rewards, he was surrounded by strong crowds from the other four departments, because today he set a new high in the amount of rewards for the Zhongwu Army - fifty coins per person!

Seeing enviously and enviously by other soldiers, and being surrounded by the stars under his command, Zhou Yu only felt comfortable all over, he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile, and he was more generous even with casualties.After distributing the soldiers' rewards, Zhou Yu divided them up with the school generals and brigade generals under his command. In the end, there were more than two hundred copper coins that fell into his hands.

So, Zhou Yu started to calculate again, more than 200 shots a day, more than 6000 shots a month... Unfortunately, there are now five Zhongwu Army, and they take turns to fight every day. Even if Xianbei fights with him every day, at most You can also play six games.

The hateful thing is that those Xianbei thieves have not been able to respond to the battle these days, and today, Zhou Yu has only played two games, which is far from the monthly income of [-] guan.

While Zhou Yu was counting the copper coins and calculating accounts, Murong Hu was standing on the hill on the other side of the river, looking at the camp of the Zhongwu Army.

Although the river is just a small river that can be crossed by building a bridge, Murong Hu has to admit that Xiao Hongfei's selection of this place is level, and it is not generally level.

First, the right bank where the Zhongwu Army is stationed is wider. Murong Hu calculated that even if Xiao Hongfei had twice as many soldiers, he would still be able to fully garrison and reserve a large battle area along the river bank.On the other hand, the terrain on the left bank where the Xianbei soldiers were stationed was much narrower. After setting up the tents, the reserved battle area was not big enough for even [-] cavalry.

Second, the right bank of the river bed is slightly higher than the left bank, about five to ten meters higher. This means that if the Xianbei cavalry forcibly attacked the camp from the left bank, it would be an attack against the trend and would require more energy and physical strength.

Of course, if there are only these two slight advantages, it is not enough for Murong Hu to admit that Xiao Hongfei is capable, and the reason why Murong Hu plays with him here is actually another reason.

Murong Hu has had a difficult time recently. As a figure in the six tribes of Xianbei, he has never fought such an aggrieved battle for more than ten years since he rode a horse and raised a knife. I understand why my lord went to such lengths to send him to fight against Xiao Hongfei.

This beast is really cunning and difficult to deal with!A bit more than the rumors!

In the Daqing Dynasty, Xiao Hongfei was not considered a first-rate famous general, at most he was in the middle and lower reaches of the second-rate. Gu Wenxiong, Liu Yunji, Wei Chuyan and other emperor's favorite generals could beat him by a few blocks.

But in Xianbei, Xiao Hongfei was famous—in the Great Eastern Expedition 23 years ago, he and the three generals Gu, Liu, and Wei made their debut at the same time. "General Zhongwu" has been stationed in Liucheng in western Liaoning since then, and has guarded the border county for the Daqing court for 17 years.

In the past 20 years, the emperor of Daqing and the court of Daqing seem to have forgotten this once famous general, and even he himself seems to have taken root here.

But Xianbei did not forget him. Even before launching troops in April this year, Xianbei regarded Liucheng, where he was stationed for a hundred miles, as a forbidden area.

No matter how fertile the grassland is, no matter how rich the people are, no Xianbei dares to graze within a hundred miles, and no Xianbei dares to go there to harvest grass.

Therefore, when sending troops this time, despite the objections of the leaders of the six Xianbei tribes, your lord insisted on sending him to fight against Xiao Hongfei.

The adults said that he and Xiao Hongfei were natural rivals.

After assisting your lord to take down Liaoxi County City, he led [-] elite cavalry as the vanguard that day, galloped to Linyu, and went straight to Liucheng, in order to cut this natural opponent under the knife.

However, Murong Hu did not expect that when he arrived at Liucheng, what greeted him was only an empty city.

There are no people, no opponents, just an empty city.

In this way, he took down a city without a single soldier.

Immediately afterwards, the Lord won Jiao Liming, and the news spread that Xianbei had seized five counties in a row, and immediately after that, Muronghu discovered Xiao Hongfei's trace.

It turned out that this person was actually stationed in Hu County - on the side road from Liucheng to Jieshi to Jicheng!

Murong Hu hurried to catch up, but on the way, he got a message from his lord that the food that the Daqing court originally guarded in Jiaoli City and the weapons in Liaoxi County had disappeared!

Before the army was launched this year, when the six Xianbei armies discussed together, the primary goal was to capture Liaoxi County, Jiaoli, and Liucheng.

However, after they lost their troops and captured the city, except for those untouchable slaves who were already too poor to get rid of their troubles, they didn't get any benefits.

So far, Murong Hu still remembers the scene when he won Liaodong last year, rice grains, wheat noodles, swords... so much that it dazzles the eyes.If it hadn't been for the rich income in Liaodong, how could the six Xianbei tribes have made a concerted effort to attract troops to Liaoxi this year?

Now that half of the county in western Liaoning is in hand, there is no other benefit except for the city and a large number of poor untouchable slaves.

Where did so much money, food and weapons go?Are they all in Xiao Hongfei's hands?

Murong Hu didn't dare to think too much in this direction. If these things were really in Xiao Hongfei's hands, then his strength would surely double, and he would become a stumbling block preventing the Xianbei soldiers from stepping into the Central Plains.

More than 20 days ago, Murong Hu still had a bit of contempt for Xiao Hongfei, but when he watched Xiao Hongfei raise the general flag, and the defeated soldiers and refugees from all directions came to seek refuge, Murong Hu knew that this man was worthy of being his opponent.

From the expansion of the [-] headquarters to more than [-] people, it took only five or six days. With so many remnants and defeated generals, he dared to blatantly abandon the city and block more than [-] Xianbei cavalry by the Huangxiao River. Even Murong Hu has to admire her color.

But admiration is all admiration, the opponent is still the opponent, the enemy must be the enemy!

It's just that this enemy is becoming more and more difficult to figure out. In the past, those defeated generals never dared to take the initiative to call for battle, but in the past ten days, those generals, big and small, danced more happily than each other. Every day when the sun came out, they came to call for battle. When someone takes up the challenge, they are as happy as they are on New Year's Day...

These unusual behaviors seem to have gradually appeared after the appearance of the Chu character general flag. Could it be that...the owner of that general flag has an unusual origin?

Murong Hu moved his eyes to the camp to the west, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see anything clearly.

At this moment, a clan soldier came to report: "Commander! Your Excellency's messenger is here."

"Well, I already know that handsome."

When Murong Hu returned to the big tent, he saw a handsome young man with his left lapel on his back and a bow and arrow pot on his back.

"Why did Xiaoshuai Yao come here in person?" Murong was startled when he saw this young man, and asked, "But what happened in Pinggang City?"

Xianbei's social organization is still close to the clan system, consisting of three levels of Luo, Yi, and Bu.Luo is a tent, which is equivalent to the theory of a village in the Qing Dynasty.There are about [-] or [-] villages in a city, and hundreds or thousands of cities in one part. The population varies from cattle to sheep. The big ones are like the six powerful tribes. The Wuluo clan can only be reduced to a subsidiary of the big clan.

In Xianbei, the leader of the tent is called Xiaoshuai, the leader of the town is called Dashuai, the leader of the tribe is called Shanyu or Daren, and the leader of the alliance is called Dachanyu, sometimes called Daren .

Murong Hu was born as an aristocrat of the Murong tribe, and inherited the Wanqi Dayi handed down from his father and grandparents. In addition to his outstanding ability, he is also well-known among the six tribes of Xianbei.

The handsome young man called Yao Xiaoshuai by Murong Hu, whose full name is Murong Yao, is the youngest son of Murong Chang, the Chan Yu of the Murong Department. Although he has only received a tent of a thousand riders, the nobles in the clan know very well Knowing that this little Shuai Yao who just came back from Daqing Taixue the year before last is already deeply loved by Murong Chang, the Chanyu. Given time, he might be the next Chanyu of Murong's Ministry.

So, what kind of letter is it worth asking Murong Yao to come in person?

"Ping Gang, everything is going smoothly according to the plan." Murong Yao took off the horned bow and quiver on his back, and said, "It's just that my lord has received a peace letter from Qing Dynasty, so I asked the boy to come over and ask for peace." The commander-in-chief will let you know."

"Peace letter?" Murong Hu was slightly stunned, a little in disbelief: "The army has just been placed in front of the battle, and the two sides have not fought a serious battle, Daqing has already sent a peace letter?"

"Someone sent it secretly." Murong Yao sarcastically said, "Emperor Qing probably doesn't know that old fool."

Murong Hu immediately understood that this was the result of the internal struggle of the Daqing court, so he asked with a smile, "Then what are the conditions for peace? Should we withdraw our troops?"

"No." Murong Yao pulled the empty string, let go abruptly, made a shooting gesture, and said, "The only condition is that we behead Li Zhan, the fifth prince of the Qing Dynasty."

"What does the lord mean?"

"My lord's meaning." Murong Yao smiled and said, "As long as the other party can marry Li Rui, Princess Yingchuan, they can make up whatever they want."

"Li Rui, Princess Yingchuan?"

"Emperor Qing's new Eastern Expeditionary Army has reported to the Great Sima to be fully responsible for the dispatch of food, grass, and equipment for the Qing Dynasty's Eastern Expedition." Murong Yao stopped as he spoke, as if thinking of something, and then continued: "I was in Chang'an I met her once in the city, she is a very powerful woman."

Murong Hu smiled wryly and said, "I heard a few days ago that the Qing Dynasty has now reduced the grain consumption to [-]%. It seems that this is true."

Now the floating cost of the Daqing Dynasty is as high as six or seven floors, and reducing it to three achievements is equivalent to increasing the supply of the frontier army by half, which is a very scary amount.As long as there is food and pay, the army of the Qing court can hide in the city and delay the war infinitely. Xianbei can't afford such a war of attrition.

"Of course it's true." Murong Yao said: "So, this woman should marry back as soon as possible, even if she spends a few extra cattle and sheep raising idle, she definitely can't stay in the Daqing court."

"As long as this woman arrives in the grassland, we Xianbei people will have the final say on whether to make peace or fight."

"So, my lord asked me to send you a message, asking you to hold Xiao Hongfei back. If necessary, even if we die together, you must hide him here." Murong Yao suddenly looked at Murong Hu, his heroic eyes flashed After a few moments of sharpness like a blade: "You must not let him join hands with Li Rui, otherwise it will be a big trouble!"

"Is Xiao Hongfei really that scary?" Even though he has been fighting against Xiao Hongfei all this time, and has seen the changes in the Zhongwu Army, Murong Hu still doesn't quite understand why his lord always regards this Xiao Hongfei as the number one dangerous person. , even more important than Gu Wenxiong, the general who is going east.

"Yes! Very scary! My lord said personally that with Xiao Hongfei's ability, as long as he is given [-] elite soldiers and enough food, he can guard this Youzhou as solid as gold."

Seeing that Murong Hu remained silent, Murong Yao said again: "Look at the current situation, my lord is fighting against Gu Wenxiong against Ping Gang, you and Xiao Hongfei are involved in each other here, just happened to be at a stalemate, right?"

"Yes!" Murong Hu nodded and said, "From the perspective of Gu Wenxiong and the Daqing court, it must be so."

"But in fact, we all know it's not." Murong Yao continued, "Xiao Hongfei also knows it's not."

Murong Hu said: "At least Xiao Hongfei and I are in a stalemate."

"Uncle Hu has no confidence in himself?"

"I am confident, but I am not sure of victory." Murong Hu sighed, "Although I have more soldiers and horses than him and are stronger than him, I always feel that he has already calculated all the ways to advance and retreat, unless he is driven away. In the plains, come to a real battle with him, otherwise..."

"Then let's spend it first, anyway, it is his Daqing pariah who will suffer." Murong Yao said with a cruel smile: "Uncle Hu, what your lord means is that if you can take down Xiao Hongfei, he can give the most fertile grassland in the world to you." Here it is. If you capture both Xiao and Li at the same time, no matter whether they are captured alive or killed, I will give you the first merit, and I will give you whatever you want."

When Murong Hu heard this, he clenched his right fist and put it on his left chest, bent over.

He knew that for Xianbei, killing these two people was the best policy, and restraining or marrying them was just one of the means to take their lives.

At this time, the night was getting darker, and the lights in the camp of the Zhongwu Army were flickering. No one knew what happened in the Xianbei camp on the opposite side. Chu Ning was looking forward to the gate, because Master Bai had sent a letter saying that the weapons would be delivered today.

Of course, if it was just the arrival of weapons, General Chu definitely would not have expected so much.

Soon, the voices of the soldiers came from the gate, and Chuning hurried over, but only saw a few strange knights, and did not see the familiar white clothes.

A general wearing the iron armor of the Daqing court yelled at the soldiers on duty: "The army reports that Sima is here, hurry up and pass it on!"

The army reported to Sima?Princess Yingchuan?Li Rui?

Chuning glanced over the knights, and soon found a figure that matched the rumors.

The man was seven feet long, much taller than ordinary women, and was almost the same as Bai Su. He was wearing a standard armor, with a vertical sword standing on the ground, and a black cloak fluttering behind him, which was very unusual.

It was only when Xiao Hongfei led the generals out of the gate that Chuning had the opportunity to take a closer look. Seeing this, he couldn't help being deeply shocked.

This person is indeed Li Rui, the chief minister of the army. Although she is wearing standard armor, she wears another kind of gallantry. The majesty of a full house of titans makes everyone bow their heads.

With such a stark contrast, Chu Ning, a female general who once stood out in the Zhongwu Army, was suddenly overshadowed.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

General Chu asked Bai Dangjia: Why are there two female generals in an Eastern Expeditionary Army at the same time?

Master Bai thought for a while and said: There is probably only one.

General Chu smiled: Yes, Li Qingci is the princess.

Bai Su: Well, Li Qingci looks a bit like a general. As for you...you can only be regarded as a female army ruffian...

General Chu: ...
